In its work to identify and consolidate new voices on the national and international art scene, MXM focuses on programming that not only supports emerging talent, but also builds a curatorship capable of connecting in a profound way with an audience aware of the concerns of the present.
This growth is based on the creation of collaborative links between these new voices of contemporary thought, resulting in projects that not only question reality, but also have the power to transform it. Each initiative in the gallery is conceived as an ecosystem of ideas, where artists and curators, in their role as provocateurs of alternative realities, interact with a social and cultural context in constant transformation. The gallery thus becomes a laboratory in which the works are not static objects, but dynamic agents that actively contribute to the construction of contemporary society.
At this precise moment, in the now, this exhibition, which includes works by the artists Irene Molina, Anna Bochkova, Rebecca Storm and Körei Sándor, emerges as a space for radical experimentation, where the limits between artistic creation, critical thought and social action are blurred and redefined. Far from being a simple exhibition, this proposal is configured as a living device, capable of generating knowledge, reflection and new forms of interaction.
The Bell Jar
Text and curator by Victoria Ríos
Sylvia Plath wrote «The Bell Jar» during a particularly difficult period in her life, marked by the struggle with social expectations about women’s roles, depression, a marital crisis, lack of financial resources, and motherhood. The novel was born as a way to process these experiences, becoming a triumph of creation over the pre-established. It reflects both her personal battle with mental illness and her professional challenges in a society that did not understand her pain.
Today, beyond its literary value, «The Bell Jar» is a feminist bastion, a story in which the social and human transcend established limits. This curatorship is inspired by that same impulse: how adversity transforms creation and leads us to inhabit both space and society in new ways.
The project explores the intersection between artistic creation and the act of inhabiting social roles, showing how artists, when faced with challenges, not only create but also redefine the environments they occupy. Art becomes a vehicle to resist, adapt, and reinvent our existence, transgressing limits, conquering new territories, and leaving a mark on the social fabric. In this process, adversity transforms into an impulse that reconfigures our way of perceiving and inhabiting the world.
The force of change emerges in the collective, and it is in shared creation where we are capable of transforming it.
This is where we discover some of the voices that drive this change, a space where the alchemy of creation stems from multiple states, experiences, and yearnings. It is at this intersection of dimensions where psyche, life’s fragility, magical dystopias, and material realities intertwine, shaping a new paradigm of creation.
